[Fists] Question about 1970's "INT" military Morse code test

[Roger J. Wendell]

Back in the 1970s I was a Coast Guard radioman at NMO and NMC - 
specializing in Morse code
communications with merchant operations (and also holding the Coast 
Guard's speed record for
copying random characters/coded text).

Before joining the Coast Guard I had to spend some time at Denver's 
military induction center
for a variety of testing. One of the tests was the "INT" Morse code 
aptitude test. For that test,
each recruit was given a pencil and a piece of paper that had three 
vertical columns of blank
check boxes directly beneath the printed letters "I," "N," and "T." The 
examiners would then send,
over a loud speaker, random strings of these letters, in Morse, and the 
listeners (recruits and
inductees) would mark the appropriate box corresponding to the letter 
they just heard. Throughout
the test the speed of transmission was gradually increased until most of 
the applicants dropped out.

My question is, does anyone else recall this particular test and is 
there anyone out there with
a copy of the blank INT test sheet and, even better, an audio recording 
of the test taking place?

Thanks for your help!

72s es 73s,
